Overview

Next-generation sequencing reveals that PM2.5 exposure enhances cellular migration in ARPE-19 cells, highlighting TGFβ signaling pathways.

Key Points

  • PM2.5 exposure significantly enhanced ARPE-19 cell migration and viability, indicating environmental impacts on ocular health.
  • Next-generation sequencing discovered that TGFβ, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways were activated after PM2.5 exposure.
  • Bioinformatic analyses indicated that ANGPTL4 was notably upregulated, serving as a downstream effector in TGFβ signaling.
  • Pharmacological inhibition of TGFβ signaling reduced PM2.5-induced ANGPTL4 expression, emphasizing its role in retinal responses.
